Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes

These Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes are rich, creamy, and decadent. Every bite is smothered in Gruyere and Parmesan cheese, and it’s the perfect thing to make for Thanksgiving dinner because it frees up space in your oven and on your stove top!

Thank you so much to the Idaho Potato Commission for sponsoring this post! As always, all opinions and endorsements are my own.

As with almost everything I make that calls for potatoes, I left the peels on for this. Red potato skins have great texture without being too tough, and add a nice rustic color to the dish. Peeling potatoes is probably my least favorite cooking prep to do, which is the biggest reason why I don’t usually do it. But it also makes the dish a bit more nutrient-packed, adding fiber and more vitamins and minerals to it.

I think the red skins paired with the fresh thyme, golden cheese, and freshly ground black pepper makes an otherwise bland looking dish seem all the more festive!

Just make sure you give the potatoes a good scrub with a vegetable brush if you leave the skins on. They do grow in the dirt, after all.

This recipe is easy to assemble in your slow cooker, and is similar to making a lasagna. Just layer potatoes, top with a cheese mixture, seasoning, and some sauce, and repeat two more times.

By the time the potatoes are done cooking on high heat for five hours, the onions are fully cooked and their flavor is in every bite, the potatoes are soft but not mushy, and the cheese is melted and a gorgeous golden brown color on top. Yum, yum!

Zach declared these the best scalloped potatoes he’s ever had. Not to brag or anything :-)

Oh my goodness! Potato madness! LOL love it! This recipe is a keeper for sure. We love these kinda potatoes! And what I love even more is making my slow cooker do all the work for me. Win win! Hope you and baby are well! XOXO`

I think 8-9 should do it! I cooked it on high because I thought the top would get a bit more golden at a higher temperature. Not sure how sound this logic is, but just be warned it may look a bit different if you cook it on low. No doubt that it will still be delicious! Hope you like them :-)

Technically yes, you are right! A quick google search for scalloped potato recipes will give you more dishes with cheese, however, than without cheese. It’s always a challenge coming up with a name that accurately describes recipes- sometimes it’s a struggle to keep authenticity while also making sure it meets people’s expectations when they are searching for a recipe online. Thanks for bringing this up- here’s an article from The Kitchn explaining a bit more about it: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-scalloped-potatoes-228159
